Hi Radder, The best way I've found to reduce an image, & retain as much detail as possible, is to decrease the image size by 100 pixels, in the Width or Height window, for each reduction, (progressively), until you've reached the final size you want. It takes a little longer than entering the final pixel size in one reduction, but the ultimate image is much better. In the "Image Size" window make sure you have "Constrain Proportions" & "Resample Image" checked, & select "Bicubic" next to "Resample Image". Once you've reached the image size you want, you can then use one of the "Sharpen" filters if you think you need it. This will also work in enlarging an image, to a limited degree. Good luck & have a good one . . . Mark.
